HELP MY FRIEND SMELLS

MY FRIEND AND I HAVE BEEN FRIENDS SINCE LIKE THE FIRST GRADE. WE BOTH CAME OUT TO EACH OTHER AT THE SAME TIME AND EVERYTHING. WE BASICALLY DO EVERYTHING TOGETHER. LIKE THE OTHER DAY WE WERE CHANGING LIKE RIGHT NEXT TO EACH OTHER TO GO SWIM AND I SMELT A FOUL ODOR. OMG IT WAS BAD. I DIDNT SAY ANYTHING. TONIGHT HE COME IN MY ROOM AFTER HE GETS OUT OF THE SHOWER AND WALKS BY MY BED WITH HIS BOXERS ON AND I SMELL IT AGAIN.I THINK HE HAS SOME KIND OF PROBLEM

Its Ty.... well if he is your best friend... then just tell him.If it were me... I wouldn't even think twice about it. If he gets mad or embarassed by it.so be it. A good friend telling you that would be way better than someone you don't know or just getting to know, then starting to have a little fun... getting halfway there and going... eeeeeewwwwwwwwwwwww... Right or Wrong?!?! If you can smell it and you ain't doin' it... It can't be good!

I had a roommate that smelled really really bad once. I found that leaving clues like conspicuously spraying fabreeze around the suite seemed to help. I normally just kept to myself to avoid the smell but I understand you can't do that. Just leave some big clues around and if he doesn't take them then approach him nicely about it. You don't want to offend him, I know how awkward it can be trying to bring up this subject.

1) HOW DO I TELL HIM HE SMELLS DOWN THERE?

2) HOW CAN I TELL HIM TO FIX IT?

I had a friend in college like this. It was really a problem. It was sad because he sort of started getting the nickname "Stinky" behind his back. Finally, I sat him down and told him as gently and sensitively as humanly possible that he, well, SMELLED. It was embarrassing for him at first, and he didn't even understand how he could smell because he showered every day. I encouraged him to be sure to shower every morning before leaving the house, and definitely again if he goes out at night or after working out, and to definitely wear deodorant because "Anyone would stink after a few hours in the Arizona heat without wearing deodorant". All I know is that from that day forward he never stunk again.

If I smelled bad I would want my friends to tell me so that I could do something about it. Good or bad a friend should tell you something like that ASAP. It's no fun walking around smelling like and possibly looking like Pig Pen.

I've told my friends they've had some raunchy smells coming off of them but I did it in a way so that it wasn't embarrassing. If you are his friend then you need to tell him because if you don't then someone else will and they might not be as kind as you when they tell him of his odor.

Tell him to switch soaps or take two showers a day instead of one. Maybe he's a sweater, needs to change his laundry soap or he's eating some kind food that give off a smell or whatever but you should let him know immediately before it gets worse. The power of smell is mighty fierce and I've heard stories of people being ostracized because of it.

Just man up and say "dude, you're rank right now!" If you really are best friends, it's your responsibility to give him the uncomfortable truth. If you want to be a good brother to him, let him know before some guy he's got the hots for turns tail and runs from the stench!

Tell him and also suggest (1) a good shampoo/soap whatever (2) a good deodorant/antiperspirant. People do not get hints. They often do not know. They think your hints are about you, not them.

You need to be direct, private (is he likely to read this thread?), non-confrontational, non´-optional, and helpful with a solution. Sometimes it´s not him, it´s his clothes. I had a workout shirt like that once: it smelt fine when room temp, but when it got warmer on me it started to smell. It also helps if you are not obsessive yourself, otherwise he might think it´s about you again.

KISS (Keep It Simple Silly)

You: "Dude, you fucking reek!"

Enough said.

If his clothes don't stink, and he's freshly showered, then, he may have a medical condition, but, either way, just say it, and get it said.

Like my friend CuriousJockAZ above me here, I have a buddy from my fraternity that had a similar problem. He washed thoroughly (I saw him!) and he used a good soap. But shortly thereafter his pits smelled badly. It turned out to be his Mennen deodorant. It works for me - but it just didn't work for him...... I got him to switch to something else - - and no more problem.

Now if your friend's problem is further down south - - guys need to know to reach a finger inside and thoroughly clean up there. I would even try douching if that is called for. There has got to be a solution to this!

I dont know, all my good friends know Im way too honest and I tell them whats going on without even thinking twice, they already know how my brain is wired. I simply go like dude WTF you smell...but usually they go like SO DO YOU!

I am guessing he is uncut and was never taught that the foreskin roles back (Must have yucky cheesie buildup). Something some parents neglect to teach uncut boys how to wash their penis. He probably has a yeast infection because of poor cleaning technique. If your smelling it thats what it probably is. Oh, if it is this it also hurts like hell.

How to care for the uncircumcised penis:the uncircumcised male should retract, or pull back, the foreskin and clean underneath it daily. It should be a part of his daily hygiene routine. The American Academy of Pediatrics (AAP) states that the foreskin should be cleansed by following the steps below:

•Gently, not forcefully, pull the foreskin away from the tip of the penis.•Rinse the tip of the penis and the inside part of the foreskin with soap and water.•Return the foreskin back over the tip of the penis.
